    ...my 1330 shipped 6 DAYS EARLY! Only 3 days after ordering! Of course I was thrilled, but, I'm tracking it and it is only about 2 hours away from me right now, but yet the ETA is still three more days away. Three days for 2 hours away? I would go get it myself but gas prices are choking me. Just wondering if it might come earlier than three days.

    How much did that cost? I was considering buying the same model with the same customizations (with LED screen) also.

    After some haggling and a college discount, $1,900. I think normally without all that it's around $2,400? Not sure on that.

    I don't think it is either. There always, however, seems to be the "$599 off select XPS..." discount as far as I can tell. Combine that with the education discount which for me through Ohio University was about $270 off and you've got a great deal already. On top of that you can further decrease the price by simply chatting with a rep online and ask to take a few things off so your purchase will "be within your budget". I just told them I would have to go with a different company laptop if I couldn't get it under $2,000, and after asking to take off the Anti-Virus he knocked off like another $100. Pretty sweet if you ask me.
